Kudos to Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden for his decision to join with the attorneys general from all 50 states to express their united support – regardless of party affiliation – for the time-honored practice of invocations at presidential inaugurations/IVA.

Question: Should invocations be removed from presidential inaugarations?

Julia Piercey serves as the Director of Education and Training for Boise’s Planned Parenthood affiliate. What ought to be a concern to all Idaho parents is that Ms. Piercey served in the same role with a Planned Parenthood affiliate in Ohio, and was named as a defendant in civil suit alleging that the Planned Parenthood staff under Ms. Piercey’s direction and supervision broke state law by refusing to report the sexual abuse of 16-year-old Denise Fairbanks at the hands of her own father. Although the suit was dismissed earlier this year, it will be refiled this month/Bryan Fischer, IVA. More here.

Question: Has the Idaho Values Alliance raised an issue here that should concern Idaho parents?

More Info: Obama’s criminal offense is that, in a move that ought be celebrated by all who claim that America’s strength is found in its embrace of diversity, he picked an evangelical pastor who supports natural marriage and the sanctity of life to deliver the invocation at his inauguration.  Rick Warren of Saddleback Church has been tabbed for the task, despite the fact he openly supported Prop. 8, which elevated protection for one-man, one-woman marriage into the California constitution.

Question: What kind of reception will Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren get when he presents the invocation at Barack Obama’s inaugaration?
